Yesterday, two candidates for City Council in Ward 5 filed on the same day for the seat held by Council Member Don Samuels.

Roger Smithrud filed as a member of the Independence Party, listing his address as 2357 James Ave. N. He has previously run for state rep in 58B.

Kenya McKnight--who was interested in a Green Party endorsement mere days ago, but flaked out--filed as a member of the DFL, listing her address as 1230 Morgan Ave. N., #2.

ADDENDUM: Or, shall I say, Lenn-dendum? It is now confirmed that Lennie "The Heckler" Chism, who recently bought the Uncle Bill's store for $3,000 with a grand scheme of turning it into an organic food store, has also tossed his hat into this rather crowded ring.

ADDENDUM TO ADDENDUM: Natalie Johnson Lee is now in the race, making it a five-way in Ward 5. Natalie is running as DFL to which this Green Party member says "Thank God."
